The present study focused on subsurface data (well logs, core, and 3D seismic) acquired in SW Libya (Murzuq Basin), aims to unravel the architectural complexities of late Ordovician glaciogenic sediments and their potential as reservoirs. As a result of the integration of a suite of inter-related research techniques and disciplines (Seismic spectral decomposition, paleogeographic reconstruction, inorganic geochemistry, seismic stratigraphy, facies analysis, and Geomorphological comparison with modern analogs), a comprehensive facies scheme and depositional models are proposed providing a better understanding of both their spatial and stratigraphic distributions, the linkage between different environments, varying reservoir properties, and the study area sedimentological evolution.
